Figure out what we’re doing with “Back” links
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

As a Developer, I would like to know where to redirect the users when they click on "Back" on the following pages:

  • Enable event registration
  • Edit event registration
    • To this page by the way we have three entry points:
      • At the event page, if the user is the organizer and click on "Manage event"
      • At "My events" page by the edit action on the kebab menu
      • At "Event Details" page by clicking on "Edit" button

Also, the user can access the pages above directly, so we are wondering what should be the behavior of the "Back" link in these cases.

Event Timeline

Hi there @gonyeahialam, @ifried, @vyuen, @Daimona this is the task we discuss last sprint planning, about how are we going to handle the "Back" links, please let me know if the description provided is enough for us to decide what to do.

I will write my personal preferences below, but we will need feedback from Gregory:

  • Enable event registration
    • I think it makes sense to go back to the event page, since that is where the user was before they chose to enable registration. But I also wonder if this will change when and if we have a call to action to 'enable registration' in the event center -- and, if so, would the user prefer to be brought back to the event center? I guess, for now, the event page makes the most sense.
  • Edit event registration
    • The user could be brought back to the event page, event details page, or the list of events, since there are calls to action to 'edit' on both pages. So I guess it comes down to what would be most useful to the user. Perhaps the list of events (Your Events) would be more useful since it gives you the full range of your events and all of the actions you can perform for them? I'm not sure on this one. I also wonder if it is even worth having a 'back' button in a situation when the result of clicking it is so unclear.

What do you think, @gonyeahialam?

No longer relevant, the buttons in question don't even exist.
